Jdm?

Thats what I thought this morning! Well I just got a 2 way chip from JDM and I was trying it out this morning. I took off in the middle of the highway smoking tires, untill I couldn't keep the truck straight. Well about a mile down the road I noticed my tire smoking. I said to myself, damn JD you have bad a$$ chip to catch the tires on fire! Maybe I was not awoke yet, but it was antifreeze on my tire smoking. I blew a heater hose. Truck is not a year old yet! I thought that was funny. I never heard of a heater hose breaking. Shes back home tonight.

One thing you might want to check, are the heater hose extensions. Each hose has a about 6 inch long extension with a quick disconect fitting on it. One of those quick connects may have come undone.

I took the 2 extensions off my hoses.

If it blew right at the firewall than it might be just one of the extensions. If so just eliminate them, that way you will have one less two less conections that could leak in the future.

Here is a pic of the extensions

Theres a tube thats coming up and out of the head in the back. It has a clamp on. Broke right before the clamp.Its about 12 inches from those extentions. You took those extentions off? I see I will be up grading my hoses in the future for race puposes. We can't have this happening on the 1/4.
